Multiselect menu

Multiselect menu

Multiselect menus enable users to select multiple items from a list simultaneously, offering flexibility and enhanced control. Here are common methods for enabling multiselect functionality:

  • Utilize hotkeys such as Shift, Command, or Control in conjunction with mouse clicks
  • Use checkboxes to mark desired options
  • Implement a tagging system, where clicked items appear as tags at the top

To simplify decision-making, make selected items prominently visible, thereby reducing cognitive load. However, it's worth noting that multiselect menus can be challenging to implement effectively on mobile platforms due to space constraints.

Pro Tip: Make sure users have a way to deselect all items if they change their minds.
